Guest Introduction: Jon Trask (CEO Dimitra)

Jon Trask: Personally, I am a globally recognized blockchain expert with extensive experience in cryptography and cryptographic systems, enterprise software development, and designing and implementing complex supply chain applications for multinational corporations.

I am passionate about using the power of information to deliver agricultural technology (Agtech) to small farm holders. Who, while playing a vital role in keeping our world fed, often struggle to feed their own families.

My goal is to get elegant, useful technology into the hands of farms and farmers who need it most. Food security, food safety, agronomy, the climate impact of agriculture, poverty, and world hunger are key issues that are important to me personally.

Q: As a newcomer to crypto, I have always faced difficulties in navigating through the UI of many platforms. And these clumsy UI have always been difficult for newbies. So,is the #DIMITRA Platform user friendly platform & ensure a hassle free & clean interface for users?

Jon Trask: Yes, we spend a lot of time working on the UI of our platform and take feedback from our users to make improvements. UX is important, particularly with farmers who need to have simple and efficient ways to enter their data

Q: Recently due to the solvency risk of FTX has created a huge negative impact of crypto currency and led to crash, Is your project impacted by this?

Jon Trask: We do not have a direct impact due to the FTX problems. Certainly it is creating challenges in the market with price and market credibility. We are a project with real-world application and revenue in the agriculture and food markets and that creates advantages for us that many projects don’t yet have.

Q: Do you have any plans to integrate farmers into your system, given that your ecosystem is devoted to the agricultural sector?

Jon Trask: We already have farmers integrated into our system. We have been onboarding cooperatives and governments for several months now and are going to continue to expand the number of customers monthly.
